Don’t think this is true. Councils are changing constantly in response to the issues of the day and the never ending budget pressures. In some ways it can appear from the outside that they don’t change, but that’s probably because of the way they are set up, with democratically elected councillors taking the decisions and officers reporting to them. That is a constant. Internally, staff structures, reporting lines and processes change all the time. Partly in the pursuit of constant improvement and partly because there’s less and less money available and ever increasing demands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're really taken in by all this aren't you, Mr Risen? Are we supposed to believe EVERYTHING we're told are FACTS just because someone professes to have worked for SCC some years ago? How do any of us know what the REAL truth is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We dont have any reason to disbelieve he didnt tbh. If he has knowledge of how things work there where is the harm of sharing that on the forum? TBF I am surprised he does, given the amount of abuse he gets back for doing so. He provided factual information in the thread about the arts grants and got it back for doing so, better that than the misinformed opening post of that thread.

Yeah right... ... and you don't think it's odd that someone who NO LONGER works for SCC spends hours on here defending any post that may criticise them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If thats what he wants to do, so be it. He doesnt need the abuse for bringing further info to the forum does he? As I said, the thread about the arts grants a case in point. Someone starts it with a post full of inaccuracy, Planner1 comes along to put him right. Wheres the problem? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I see is criticism of SCC... ... and if Mr Planner NO LONGER works for SCC as he says, then how is criticism of SCC interpreted as him receiving 'abuse'? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on now, I have seen countless people slag him off personally merely for him putting forward an official and/or alternative view. Its happened on here for years. If you are happy to have him chased off the forum, thats up to you. Would be boring if everyone agreed with each other round here...
